Brazilian Design

  • Set of 6 fixed chairs made entirely from brown Tauari wood, bought at the "Arquivo Contemporaneo" shop in Rio de Janeiro in 2015. The search for simplicity and contemporaneity in the design of the pieces blends and translates Zanini's style, where volumetric shapes are carved into the wood. Zanini de Zanine was born in Rio de Janeiro and grew up watching his father, José Zanine Caldas, work. He trained with Sergio Rodrigues, when he produced his first piece of furniture. In 2002 he graduated in Industrial Design from PUC-Rio. From 2003, he began producing solid wood furniture using demolition pieces - columns, beams and posts from old houses - called "Contemporary Carpentry". From 2005 onwards, he began to create a new line of furniture with industrially produced pieces, using not only wood from controlled sources, but also various materials such as plastic, methacrylate, metals and parts of other industrialised products. To represent the furniture in this new line, Zanini created Studio Zanini in 2011. We deliver worldwide. For shipments outside of Portugal and Spain, please contact us for a personalized quote.

    MOLE armchair bought in the 1970s at the OCA shop by Brazilian designer Sergio Rodrigues. The most perfect translation of its creator's thinking, the Mole armchair contributed immensely to the projection of Brazilian design on the international stage. The 1957 design is both innovative and authentically Brazilian. A four-legged Garrincha circumventing "Teutonic" rationalism. With this concept, the Mole armchair, created in 1957, is still innovative today and is one of the most important works of the 20th century, responsible for projecting Brazil onto the world design scene. Made from solid rosewood with high ends and upholstered in natural leather, this armchair has an original patina and shows minimal signs of use, making it a rare and exclusive piece.
